n Gary Ronald, the head of public affairs, AA: “We are convinced that despite the latest offering from the government, the cost to the consumer, as far as the Gauteng tolls are concerned, is going to hit home hard when commodity prices increase as well as transport costs.
“It is the Automobile Association’s (AA’s) belief that a dedicated road fund be established or, at the very least, money collected through the fuel levy be ring-fenced for transport, road safety and transport infrastructure projects.”
n Cliff Watson, the executive tax manager, Grant Thornton Johannesburg: “The special appropriation of R5.8 billion towards the debt related to the project is encouraging. The idea of the halving and capping of these fees is welcomed. However, it should be taken into account that a person with an e-tag would need to travel approximately 1 833km a month… to reach the cap of R550 a month.” page 10
